Wait So Long
Longing in the Night: Unveiling the Depths of Love and Despair
Lyrics
I could never pretend that I don't love you
I acknowledge that I genuinely love you.
You could never pretend that I'm your man
You can't deny that I'm not your romantic partner.
That's exactly the way that I want it
I prefer our relationship exactly as it is.
That's exactly the way that I am
This is my true nature, and I'm comfortable with it.
And you call me in the morning with your troubles
You reach out to me in the morning with your problems.
Takin' it downtown every night
You go downtown every night, facing challenges.
I could never place the stars at night above ya
I can't express my admiration for you enough.
I got my hands on the ground
I'm grounded and practical in my approach.
And you know I'm right
I believe I'm correct in my perspective.
You wait so long
Repetition emphasizing the waiting aspect in the relationship.
You wait so long
-You wait so long
-You wait so long
-It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens
Life feels stained and imperfect when difficulties arise.
Liven up honey it ain't that bad
Cheer up, things aren't as bad as they seem.
Any afterthought rose to recognition
Any reconsideration comes too late.
Like every other coffin that I had
Comparing realizations to past experiences.
And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca
Your car breaks down, and you turn to faith for help.
Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
A moment of desperation and seeking divine assistance.
Then you take up hope at the politicians
Losing hope in the political system of a decaying town.
Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore
The town is desolate, and nothing positive happens.
You wait so long
Repeated emphasis on enduring a prolonged period of waiting.
You wait so long
-You wait so long
-You wait so long
-And your hollows on like a frozen freight train
Your emotional state is as intense as a frozen freight train.
You know that I help you if I can
I'm willing to assist, but my impact is limited.
But I'm just a raindrop in a river
An analogy portraying insignificance in the grand scheme.
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand
Comparing oneself to a tiny grain of sand.
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this
Expecting a recurring pattern despite acknowledging it's harmful.
With all the bad habits that I've learned
Acknowledging acquired bad habits but choosing them over alternatives.
But it's better than your fiber 'n fornication
Preferable to indulging in materialism and unethical pursuits.
And all the dirty money that you earn
Critiquing the pursuit of wealth through immoral means.
You wait so long
Reiteration of the enduring and challenging waiting period.
You wait so long
-You wait so long
-You wait so long
-You wait so long
Continuation of emphasizing the prolonged waiting experience.
You wait so long
-You wait so long
-You wait so long
